Quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo: Garoppolo has been the QB30 (8.4 points) and the QB18 (13.9 points) in his two starts., Those starts have come against the Broncos and Rams, but things do not get that much stronger for Garoppolo as a 2QB option here.
Carolina is 11th in passing points allowed per attempt (0.35) while allowing 6.3 yards per pass attempt (seventh). They do not have the strongest resume to date facing Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones, Jameis Winston, and Kyler Murray, but Garoppolo keeps the company of the front three passers there for fantasy.
